I’ve been getting complaints that my messages were not coming through since I started using Thunderbird. What was happening is my replies were showing at the bottom of my emails.

I must have at some point set Thunderbird to reply messages to, “start my reply below the quote”. I’m not sure if I screwed up or this is the default, but below are directions on how to change this.

In the menu at the top of the screen in Thunderbird, go to

Tools  —> Account Settings —–> Composition & Addressing, in the Composition dialog box

Make sure that the check box for “Automatically quote the original message when relying then, Start my reply above the quote.

If you set up your Thunderbird like this it will place your reply at the top everytime.
